If Mr. A. of New York City sends a money 

 order to Mr. B. of Denver, Colo., it is payable 

 at the Denver office; but if Mr. B. happens to 

 be leaving that city when he receives it he may 

 present it, on or before the thirtieth day follow- 

 ing the date at which it was issued, at any 

 money-order office in continental United States 

 except Alaska, and will receive payment on it. 

 If, however, he presents it after that date, but 

 within one year from the last day of the month 

 in which it was issued, it can be paid only at 

 the office in Denver, or in New York City, 

 where the money was deposited. But if Mr. 

 B's postoffice order is lost or destroyed before 

 he has cashed it, the receipt given Mr. A by the 

 New York City office may be presented within 

 a year either at the latter place or at Denver, 

 where the order will be cashed, or a stop order 

 may be issued, stopping payment of the amount 

 to the finder of the lost money order. 



International money orders are payable in 

 almost any part of the world. The commission 

 for sending any sum ranging from one cent to 

 ten dollars is ten cents, and for every extra ten 

 dollars or fraction of that amount an additional 

 ten cents is charged.
